UK PlayStation Mobile App Confirmed! US a Possibility?

Good news if your both a PlayStation fan as well as an Android fan, PlayStationLifeStyle.net is reporting that Sony is planning to bring an Official PlayStation App to the European Android market as well as the iPhone and iPod Touch. Theres also a very good chance of a US launch as well! Hit the link for more details on this interesting application.


The European PlayStation blog announced the intent to create the application on December 16, and gave us a few ideas of what it might do. Heres the quote:

"I’m very happy to finally be able to announce on the PlayStation.Blog that we will launch the Official PlayStation App very soon. The app will be available to download for iPhone and iPod Touch with OS 4 and above, and most Android compatible handsets with a minimum of OS 1.6." 

Theres also a list of features posted:
    "In version 1.0 you’ll be able to:"
  • Check out your PlayStation Network trophies and keep up to date with your friends’ games and online status.
  • Discover all the latest games, news and hardware for your PlayStation 3, PSP and PlayStation 2.
  • Read all the announcements on the European PlayStation.Blog.
  • Share your favorite products or news with your friends on Facebook, Twitter or via e-mail.

"The first version (1.0) will be available in the following countries: UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and The Netherlands."

The only information about when the app would hit the market was "Soon". Jeff Rubenstein of the US PlayStation Blog has responded to a commenter's question of wheather or not the app would hit our shores any time soo and he responded with:

"We’re going to be working on this after the break. I don’t have a date for you now."
Heres hoping that the app is as good as it can be and can hold its own in the PlayStation line up already up on the app store. Yes I'm talking about the impressive PlayStation 1 emulator application PSX4Droid. Although unofficial, the application is one of the highest rated apps on the Android Market.
